Meanwhile at Volton's company, he suddenly lost access over the Demonfire's files. He hired hackers to put their firewall down to be able to retrieve informations on their business transactions and plans. But suddenly, an even secured firewall has been set up by a third party. Even Li who's managing the programs of their security finds it odd to have a third party involve. She's been trying to eliminate the hacker from her program yet it comes back every now and then. With the new firewall at hand, she's a bit taken aback whether it's an ally or an enemy. She informed Slacovich and the rest about it. Seems like the third party notices their inconvenience, they send an emblem to them. A knight riding a black horse, new to their eyes but not for Nicholson.

"Seems like the black knights society is taking action." Slacovich and the others turn their heads towards the voice finding Nicholson smiling while looking at the emblem.

"Black Knights Society?" Li's a bit confused.

"How come they have access over the internet? Aren't they supposed to be knights or soldiers?" Diego scratches his nap in confusion.

"They were knights and always will be. But they've evolved into something more better to be able to mingle with the crowd. I think they've learned to live like the rest."

"That makes sense, then if they're an independent society having them as an ally will raise our position. Keeping the h.e.l.lgazer down where we can see their movements." Slacovich leans on the couch as he rest his back.

"You've been uneasy lately. What have you been doing?" Nicholson sits beside him.

"Volton's been trying to hijack our extended companies. Planting spies and intervening in every transactions. He's been fighting us through business matters currently. If these keeps up, I may not able to track his next move."

"With the help of the black knight society, you'll be able to keep track on his plans. More over, the task will be much easier."

"I just don't want to rely on their help. We can do something about it ourselves. But having them around makes everyone's hopes up. I'll just talk it out with Sofie when she comes back."

When the new firewall's set up, Li's granted acces over it. Also the BKS sends files about the hacker's ident.i.ty. It shocked her to know that the one who's trying to infiltrate her program is the one guy she trusted all her life. She can't believe the information she's been reading. The next page relates to Slacovich so she called him up.

"Slacovich you might wanna take a look at this." Her voice shaking as she'd holding back her tears. Diego notices it and gives her a gla.s.s of water. Slacovich takes a look at what's making Li feel so down all of a sudden. The same feeling rushes towards his every vein.

"This can't be! How come?" He blurted out.

"I can ask the same thing." Li looks at him questioning what's happening.

"Volton's been targeting the people dear to us. Why haven't I think about the possibility!"

"It's not your fault. We should ask them in person. Volton must have done something to them. They must be forced by him to work under his nose." Li clenches her fist.

"Diego check out about your father's whereabouts, seems like Volton's using them against us."

"Slacovich, I already knew what happened to my father. He can't use him against me." Diego's face saddens and they already had an idea what happened.

"I'm so sorry to hear that." Carolina embraces him tightly as she gently pats his back.

"It's alright, I've already prepared myself was back then." He embraces back burrying his face on her shoulder.

"Ara how about you?"

"The three children that General Buhadden promised to take care of. But since we leave the facility I've never heard anythint about them." Ara starts worrying about the fact that Volton might do something to them.

"We'll ask someone from there to search for those kids." Tyler comforts her immediately.

"How about you Tyler?"

"My mom, but I'm sure she's not someone he can mess with. We still exchange e-mails, and so far they're unable to lay a foot on our backyard." He grinned widely as he's so proud of his mom's skills.

"Knowing you're a great inventor, you might have gotten it from your mom from the way you grin." Diego messes his hair.

"I've told her who's our enemy, so she'll stay away from him. She said that she doesn't wanna be a burden so she'll protect herself at any cost. Her safety is the greatest help she can offer as for her."

"Cool mom." Ara smiles at him.

"I'll let you meet her one day." Ara slightly blushes.

"It's only me and Li's friends who's been working under Volton. As for Ara, we'll let our contacts search for them."

"Thanks a lot, Slacovich."

"We're a family here. We're gonna look out for each other."

Li and Slacovich takes their leave. They can't wait any second more to know what's happening. They rushed towards Volton's company. Standing in front of the building, both of them were blocked by Volton's men.

"We're not here to fight, we just need to talk to someone we know." Slacovich just stands there composed even if the guards are ready to be hostile towards them. One guard informs Volton about their arrival.

"Mr. h.e.l.lgazer sir, Mr. Demonfire and his Secretary wants to talk to some of your men."

"Let them in. Don't do anything rush."

"Yes sir." He then signals the others tk be at ease. Slacovich and Li enters the company. Seeing the employees, they're sure everyone inside the building is a third gen vampire. They'll be dead if Volton takes advantage of their recklessness. The elevator pops open and Volton greets then with a wide smile on his face.

"What brings you here?" He pats Slacovich's shoulder and kisses Li's hand. Both are disgusted by his act yet they must stay cool.

"I've heard a friend of mine starts working here. He goes by the name Dragon Claw." Li's eyes turns red.

"Oh, the programmer I hired recently. You know his a tough one but I manage to lure him to me." Something in his tone doesn't seem right. Li's starting to lose her composure but Slacovich squeezes her hand to remind her.

"Lure him here? I wonder how?"

"Being you're friend makes him vulnerable to danger. I just accommodated him with kindness. There's nothing to worry about. His safe and sound."

"Then can I see him?"

"I'm sorry but that's for him to decide."

"Then if that's the case if he wants to see me then you won't intervene right?" Li's glaring at him.

"I won't. Don't worry." Volton said but in his mind "if he can walk away alive"

"I have the same case Mr. h.e.l.lgazer. Blu works here too if I'm not mistaken."

"Oh Blu? Yeah, his been doing his job perfectly. Right noe he's in India. For some reason I want to adopt three children and cultivate them to be a h.e.l.lgazer."

"You!" Li stops Slacovich before his rages in anger.

"Let's go. We've heard enough." Li pulls him away and leaves the area. When they got back to their office, Slacovich punches the wall table it down.

"What happened?" Ara rushes towards them.

"Ara, Volton's looking for those children you're attached with."

"What? That can't happen. I need to do something."

"Blu's looking for them, it's better if I go there myself."

"No! I'm going with you!" Ara insisted on going with Slacovich.

"Then let me come too." Tyler shows up.

"No, it's gonne be Ara and me only. We need people here too."

"But---"

"No buts Tyler." Ara squeezes his hand.

"Tyler, Li will need some a.s.sistance here. You can help her find a way to contact her friend. Volton s hiding him for no reason. I have a feeling that her friend's still not willing to follow Volton at all."

"If that's the case then I'll stay here. But make sure to protect Ara."

"I don't need protection, I can take care of myself."

"I'll inform Sofie about the situation. Li book us a flight asap."

"On it."

Whatever Volton's plotting against them gets more personal. Targeting the people around them before who shared to lives before turning into a vampire is a great move. Volton manages to distract them using their old friends. Now, bigger conflict will start to arise as they let themselves distracted. The p.a.w.ns have been moved now it's time for the bishops to take action.
